Unable to build MySQL 5.1 dev version from source

For a few weeks now I haven't been able to compile the most current MySQL 5.1 dev versions from the source anymore. My system is an AMD64 with SuSE 10.0 - and I tried it in two ways.

The first way is to get the current source code from BitKeeper. BitKeeper is installed on my system, so I get the current version with the "sfioball -r+ bk://mysql.bkbits.net/mysql-5.1-new mysql-5.1" command (which works fine). I change into the directory mysql-5.1 and enter "BUILD/compile-amd64-max" - that's the way I used to do it and before the problems started to occur, it always worked fine.

But now, after quite a while I end up with the following errors:

ccache gcc -DDBUG_OFF -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wswitch -Wtrigraphs -Wcomment -W -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat -Wparentheses -Wsign-compare -Wwrite-strings -Wctor-dtor-privacy -Wnon-virtual-dtor -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -mtune=athlon64 -O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -g -fno-implicit-templates -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -rdynamic -o ndb_mgmd MgmtSrvr.o MgmtSrvrGeneralSignalHandling.o main.o Services.o convertStrToInt.o SignalQueue.o MgmtSrvrConfig.o ConfigInfo.o InitConfigFileParser.o Config.o ../../../../storage/ndb/src/mgmclient/CommandInterpreter.o ../../../../storage/ndb/src/.libs/libndbclient.a -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread ../../../../dbug/libdbug.a ../../../../mysys/libmysys.a ../../../../strings/libmystrings.a ../../../../cmd-line-utils/readline/libreadline.a -lncurses -lpthread -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lpthread

The second way is to download the nightly snapshot (the tar.gz file) and extract it to a new directory - and then again execute "BUILD/compile-amd64-max". This time, it doesn't take long until compilation fails:

suse:/MySQL_51/mysql-5.1.10-beta-nightly-20060505 # BUILD/compile-amd64-max

My simple question is - does anyone have a clue what's wrong here?
